Note: The question regarding the group that manages the market was thrown out. We should have had a category for "I don't know," as we found many people weren't sure, but placed their dot on the answer that the majority voted for, which skewed the results. It is, in fact, the Larimer County Master Gardeners that operate the market. They are a superb group of volunteers!

We will use this survey information for future marketing, market operations and also to improve customer satisfaction. Thank you for participating!
